Endangered Animals Questions Game- Research atleast 10 different endangered animals. Animal Planet's Endangered Species guide is a good source to start with. Students can take a few notes on each animal they search. Students then compile a list with the teacher. A person is it and picks an animal for the others to guess which animal they have chosen. They should ask yes and no questions like habitat, behavior and features. They can play several rounds. This gets the students thinking about endangered animals in our planet. Great for grade 2 and above. (Sara Gonnering [|Endangered Animals] [|**Life Cycle of a Frog**] Kindergarten Students will work together to illustrate the life cycle of the frog.
